Portuguese Strategy to Combat Poverty [2021- 2030]

The Portuguese Strategy to Combat Poverty (2021-2030) emerged within the framework of the European Pillar of Social Rights and through Council of Ministers Resolution no. 184/2021, of December 29, “as a central element of the objective of combating poverty, as part of the strategic challenge of reducing inequalities”, as described therein. This strategy is based on concrete measures covering areas such as housing, education, employment and social protection, promoting more inclusive and sustainable development. Its strategic axes focus not only on reducing poverty among children and young people and their families, but also on reducing the systemic risk of poverty and breaking this transgenerational cycle, through long-term structural public policies.

Documentary “Zero Poverty – The future to be built”, FFMS: It is a documentary by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation co-produced with RTP. Starting from the premise that poverty is structural and perpetuates itself over generations, it confronts us with data, analysis and testimonies that raise questions such as: How long will being born poor continue to be a sentence? How far do we have to go to catch up with the European Union countries with the lowest risk of poverty rates? What measures and policies are needed to eradicate poverty in Portugal? Some of the answers are discussed and reflected on by experts and other agents of social transformation, believing, as the National Strategy to Combat Poverty states, that its eradication must be a national goal.
